Jalapeno Popper Dip is perfect for entertaining or when you just want finger food for dinner. It is creamy, cheesy, loaded with bacon, and has as much of a kick as you want.

When the Giants are playing my husband sets everything else aside and plops on the couch for the 3-4 hours a football game takes. He works very hard so I’m ok with giving him this time to relax each week. When a game falls over dinner we eat appetizers and lounge in front of the tv. It’s fun for the kids and changes it up since we sit in the dining room as a family for dinner almost every night.

I made this with chicken because I had leftover cooked chicken but I think it would be excellent with steamed cauliflower too. Cauliflower has a mild enough flavor that it would work well with the other ingredients.

*** I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food. I used 1/4 cup chopped jalapeno and it had a slight kick. I think I’m going to brave 1/2 cup next time. If you enjoy spicy food you can use a full cup and keep the seeds in.

I made sure to remove each and every seed. And I still didn’t even try the jalapenos on top. Told ya I was a wimp. Last time my husband and I got Indian takeout for date night I could barely eat it. My mouth was on fire after the first bite. Next time I will remember to ask for mild everything.
